Is the haunting of Bly manor too scary to watch on my own?

[Betty94]

Just that really

Hubby isn't home until 1am, I'm bored and considering it but is it too scary?

No, it's shit.

It's not too bad at all. More sad than scary

It's like a Disney film. Complete travesty of the Henry James story "The Turn of the Screw".

Just seemed to go on and on and on and on .....

I started watching jt yesterday. Its really not scary at all. I'm not sure if I'll finish watching it though. Its not great. Needs more explanation.

Im about 5 episodes in - was expecting better

You can watch it by yourself. Don't worry

The scariest thing about it is the awful attempts at English and Scottish accents.

I liked it but it wasn't as scary as Hill House.

Watched two episodes and waiting for something to happen! It's a little bit jumpy at times but not sure I'll bother with the other 7 episodes! ..
Some of the accents are bad.

It's not scary

I'm a complete baby and I was terrified after episode 1. I love ghost stories but don't deal well with them, I had weird dreams even after not even watching it properly.

Good story though

The accents were definitely the scariest bit!

One or two jumps over the whole series, nothing like Hill House.

I’ve started watching it twice and each time have got distracted because it was so slow going! Not sure if I’m going to bother with a third time.

Nah not too scary, I watched it on my own

It’s not scary at all. It’s rather drawn out, probably would have made a better film than tv show but it’s still worth a watch if you’re bored.

Nah. Its rubbish.

It just bored me. I gave up on it. Not interesting, not scary and badly written and acted at times.

I’m the end of episode 2. It’s pure shite. Won’t be watching more

I love the Turn of the Screw and The Innocents movie but Bly Manor doesn't even feel like a ghost story. As a PP said, it's more sad than scary. and I'm a complete wimp about ghosts and horror films

I jumped more at the goggleboxers watching it than I did by myself as pp have said it's pretty naff but not really scary

Nope. The book was shit and this was shit. Henry james was a bloody awful writer and this adaption is just a ghastly.

I didn't realize it was ' the turn of the screw' , but set in the 80s.
(Not read the book and not rushing to now if it's as boring as this is! )

Well the little girl was also the voice of Peppa Pig and she says 'Pahhfectly SPLINDID' every three seconds. So yes.

I am still trying to figure out if they are being haunted by their own trauma or mental disorder

or an actual spirit

I didn’t finish it btw

Not scary at all more of a love story

The accents! So unbelievably terrible! I agree it’s not scary, hill house was much better.

Love T’nia Miller though.
